About
Self Portrait: 25 Million Girlfriends (51x41cm), 2020
Hi there,
I’m a painter based in London.
Drawing underpins everything I do. My focus in recent years has been the portrayal of people - trying to capture the essence of character through close observation of the person, as well as the deep study of light and structure.
I’m also a practicing architect at London firm Morris+Company. Daily thought and conversation in my day-job about light, space and materials informs and enriches my painting practice.
In 2021, I was elected a member of the Contemporary British Portrait Painters.
